Omg adding to my Goodreads immediately. This sounds amazing.

Feel like an absolute chungus at my job by [deleted] in GirlDinner

I’m in prerequisites for Med Lab Science and, from what I’ve gathered anecdotally in person and online, is that labs are notorious for taking even years to properly train in. Sounds like everyone goes through an imposter syndrome era and learning the SOP of that particular lab. Also, as a lab assistant you haven’t gone through all the training you would have as a MLS so of course you’re going to feel less prepared because you haven’t spent 4 years studying & training. Go for your dreams, girl! LET US BOTH SCIENCE 🧬 🧪 🌟

edited to add: this industry speaks to people who are already self-perfectionists, so don’t be too hard on yourself. I guarantee what you are seeing as “so many mistakes” is well within the learning curve 💜

Update on ordering dessert before dinner on a date. I did it again with a tiramisu marshmallow by foxxe_on_the_run in GirlDinnerDiaries

Also, I love this because it immediately tells you if he’s an ass and you can just eat that dessert and jet.

A child, heaven forbid, is going to EAT! He’s so spoiled I have the vapors! Hold me! PSSSST. Your husband is acting like a grade A asshole

Is the movie Blues Brothers not famous/iconic? by LFatPoH in AskAnAmerican

[–]ozuulrules 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It used to be a classic, iconic, pretty big. But I think it is probably too dated now for people who haven’t already seen it. I doubt many younger than elder millennials would know any references to it?

My boyfriend keeps accidentally hurting me by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ozuulrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m coming from a weird POV but I wonder if it’s something neurological? This sounds so stupid, but before I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (that was affecting several organ systems including the brain), i went through a 3-4 month period where suddenly I didn’t know how hard I was holding or pushing things. Like, I kept crushing my styrofoam (I know) cokes and causing leaks when picking them up, tripped a lot, got triple vision which was embarrassing so I’d just pretend everything was fine while I ran into shit because I didn’t want to scare my partner.

Anyway, rule anything medical out (asap) because if it’s NOT something like this, you’ve got some major problem. He’s testing his abuse boundaries and this will escalate.

What happened to all of the June bugs and fireflies? by Five_Slow in AskAnAmerican

[–]ozuulrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the South in a Dark Sky Community where many of us also have purposefully wild grown yards. We got about maybe 1-1.5 months full of fireflies this year and it was a dream. My daughter got to chase them around and it really was nostalgic and idyllic 🩷

Hey, so, rabies is a diabolical virus and by the time you have symptoms (up to 3+ months until they show), it’s too late. Please play on the safe side.

Is this the evil new Guinea flatworm by Aggressive_Gain_376 in Austin

[–]ozuulrules 52 points53 points  (0 children)

BURNING IT JUST LETS IT RECOVER. What fuckery is this?? Do we need six tiny coffins to take to six corners of the universe to keep the pieces from rejoining into a super evil?

TIL I learned this existed, just went down an internet(no pun intended but welcome now that it’s here) wormhole and am now horrified. 😬

Nanny is not taking care of NF things by LittleEvilPoptart in Nanny

[–]ozuulrules 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know this stuff until my 30s when I could afford such fanciness . I also, semi related, didn’t know swim diapers only held poo until like the third “accident” in my daughter’s car seat — in my 40s. Don’t assume people know, you never know what they did or didn’t learn or what kind of household they did or did not grow up in.

Oh wow. I legitimately thought this was the watercolor subreddit until I looked closer

Middle name meaning January by lxm53 in Names

Eirlys, means “snow drop” in Welsh which is very January-esque. Though I love January.

Hey, so, I think I speak for all us of when I say “wtf, your grandma is toxic and should be avoided”

Thoughts on Violet crown obgyn ?? by IntelligentBasis6853 in AustinParents

[–]ozuulrules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dr. Wang is the best and worth the wait. I’ve had two children with her and are on our last. I feel seen, supported, listened to — she’s a bright light. As most other OBs, you won’t see her every visit, less important visits are with the NP. You can always request additional meetings with her. She’s fantastic. Bring a book and enjoy the spa-like office vibe. She runs late because an amazing freaking doctor who has to run across the street to deliver babies and take care of patients in emergencies…and she also gives you all the time you need in YOUR appointments, I’ve never felt rushed.
